Awkward moment 2023 MAFS bride walks into a pole after her wedding

Filming for season 10 of Married At First Sight is under way in Sydney.

But on Friday, one bride got more than she bargained for while she was being escorted out of her stretch limousine after tying the knot.

She was being shielded with an umbrella to conceal her identity as a security guard gave directions when she walked into a pole on her way back to her hotel.

Married At First Sight producers have upped security during filming for next year’s season after a series of spoilers made the rounds online. (One couple is pictured after their wedding)

The bride, who was still wearing her white lace wedding gown, yelled ‘what the actual f**k?’ before a crew member quickly apologised.

The bizarre moment was caught on camera by a Daily Mail Australia photographer.

It follows reports that Endemol Shine Australia, the production company that produces MAFS for Channel Nine, is taking no chances with spoilers this year.

‘They’ve employed extra security to hide the participants from photographers and are shielding them whenever they have to walk out in public on their way to public shoots,’ a source told Yahoo Lifestyle.

‘They’re hiding them under blankets, behind umbrellas and it’s all very next level.’ 

The website claimed a series of early leaks sent production into ‘chaos’ after the identities of several brides were published online before all of the weddings had been filmed.

‘The grooms have all been looking up the pictures and trying to guess which bride is theirs,’ the insider said.
